I don’t know, it sounds kind of gimmicky to me… but the Eat This, Not That! folks have another book out, and this one’s called Drink This, Not That!. Supposedly following their directives for lower-calorie beverages can save you up to 30 pounds a year. (I think that should come with a disclaimer that those results only work for people who were previously hooked up to a constant IV drip of frappacinos.)
Anyway, right now you can pick up said book at Amazon for just $1.73, and for less than the cost of a cup of coffee at my favorite drive-through, maybe it’s worth checking out. (Prime and Super Saver Shipping eligible, of course.)
Then again, save for my two cups of coffee each day, I mostly drink water, so what do I know?
I agree that you’d have to already be drinking a ridiculous amount of calories to make that kind of a difference. I’m a coffee-(unsweet)tea-water girl … well, except for the fine Sicilian wine. 😉
All those “Just change this one thing and lose a bazillion pounds in 3 days!” diets really annoy me. I drink water, eat whole grains (if any) and tons of fresh fruits and veggies, grass-fed meat (if any), no refined sugar (none!). There’s nothing left for me to change in my diet to lose my bazillion pounds even in a reasonable time frame.
Sigh.
I guess I’ll have to increase my exercise. No quick fix for me!
